Build Simply

How to build using simple means in construction, building services, fire protection, floor plan design and open space and still react to the ongoing questions of climate adjustment and resiliency?

"Build Simply" shows answers to these questions in a 5-step strategy which we developed together with our cooperation partners on levels of structural engineering, building technology and landscape design:

1. Simple volumes connected to an active arcade
2. Intelligent fire protection
3. Reduction of technology through clever construction
4. Use of local energy resources
5. Cradle-to-cradle/Build sorted

On an architectural level, these principles are implemented by public and semi-public spaces aligned to the common yard, the lowest building class possible, continous floor plans for a better ventilation within each apartment and a structure allowing an effective planning with wood. Nevertheless, the main focus of the design relies on the needs of people to promote a
communal and sustainable togetherness
